Tai Pai Tong Hong Kong is a new concept to combine the very traditional HK style cuisine with Western cooking method. The restaurant has a very interesting entrance decorated with two old style plague that is used for big celebrations during Chinese festivals.
There are some old photos hanging on the wall as well to bring customers on a food journey filled with classic dishes.
When East meets West, wine is not to be missed in a meal. A good selection of red and white wine can be found at the bar in the middle of the restaurant, where HK style drinks can also be prepared!
The colour tone largely uses a faded beige colour chairs and tables, bringing us all the old memories that we have in our childhood.
Trapiche 2015 Pinot Noir $38/glassThe Orange Tree 2015, Sauvignon Blanc $38/glass
We have ordered set dinner for 1 person so that we can enjoy a discounted price of $38 per each glass of their house red/white wine, while they cost originally $60 each. Both of the wine selection is smart. White wine is fruity and slightly sweet from the grape, great for seafood or fish dishes, while the pinot noir has a much powerful woody flavour, a good match with any steak or red meat.
You may also +$69 to enjoy a seafood platter upon any purchase of the set, while the original price is $189.The platter is a plate of seafood goodness including 2 seasonal oyster (Queen), a Japanese marinated abalone, scallop with miso sauce, fresh prawns with seafood dipping sauce, razor clams.
The oysters are really fresh and imported daily to ensure the best quality of this delicate piece of shellfish. Without using much condiments, the sea water taste is strong and the flesh is smooth with a almost buttery taste to it. It's very enjoyable and we are happy that we get 2 pieces of it.
The abalone is also quite big in size. It is imported from Japan and has already been pre-marinated. It is a little bit savoury and sweet. It is also marinated until very tender and each bite is packed with flavour. The edges of the abalone has more flavours and that's my favourite part of abalone and so as any other shell fish.
The prawn is also very big in size and it is fresh because the shell could come right off the meat, while the head of the prawn is oozing with juice and tasty goodness if you are a fan of prawn heads.
Next, the razor clams have already been de-shelled and sliced into thin pieces. It's crunchy, it's sweet, it's delicious. Try the delicious seafood with some seafood dipping sauce to bring out extra flavours especially the sweetness.
Next, it's a juicy piece of scallop that is similar to those quality sashimi grade ones. It's soaked in a sweet and savoury light miso sauce which is a good friend of any kind of seafood in my opinion.
Honestly, I think each piece has its own character and they are all fresh and tasty. For just $68, it's a super great bargain and I highly recommend you to have this additional item when dining here. Roasted Eddy's Pigeon $99
This is the signature dish from the restaurant. Instead of the traditional Chinese style of crispy pigeon, the restaurant uses a Western marination method to prepare their Pigeon. It's very succulent and juicy. The meat is cooked perfectly that it is falling off the boneless effortlessly.
Every piece is juicy and tender, yet not too overly fatty. It is not served with salt because it's already flavourful entough to enjoy as it is.
Deep fried tom yum prawn toast $99We were also recommended to try this new dish from the restaurant. It is a prawn toast but it looks nothing like the prawn toast that I used to make when I was working in a Chinese restaurant overseas.
Instead, it is a giant piece of round bread topped with a big pile of minced prawn paste and pieces of whole shrimp on top, then deep fried in a coating of light batter until golden brown and perfectly crispy. The big prawn toast is served with a mildly spicy tom yum sauce on the side, giving an extra kick to this classic Cantonese dish with a twist.
The restaurant's newly launched 1 person dinner set menu comes with a bowl of soup of your choice, bread and butter, and a main course, finished by a drink / dessert with a small extra cost. There are 2 soups for us to choose and we have ordered one each without hesitation. I think cream of mushroom soup and borsch are the very very classic options at any Cha Chaan Tang in Hong Kong but they have made it fancy with better ingredients with a more Western style of cooking method and presentation.
Truffle mushroom soup
Their mushroom has pieces of mushroom for you to bite into and only a light cream is used along with some truffle oil on top. The truffle taste is subtle yet still noticeable. It's a rather healthy soup that is not too salty.
Borsch with beef brisketIn contrast, their borsch has a stronger taste with a hint of spicy kick and a little bit more salty. There are pieces of carrots and potatoes in the soup. Though the beef brisket is not as tender after being cooked for a long time, the beef flavour is still very strong int he soup which is quite remarkable.
bread and butter2 kinds of bread for you go to with the soup, sesame dinner roll as well as pepper herb rolls. They are warm and fluffy. It's never complete to drink soup without bread!
Beef rib eye steak $399For main, they are either at $299 or $399, we have chosen 2 $399 dishes and they are rib eyes and Boston lobster. We have requested medium rare for the steak and it is done on point! The meat is juicy and tender with a good pink centre. For rib eye steak, the beef taste is not going to be too powerful because it has a higher in fat ratio. Once again, I like that they do not over season their dish because the reduced sauce to go with it is like an icing on the cake, giving a light saltiness to the piece of steak.
For side dishes, it's the same for both dish, they are a scoop of sweet potato mash and some grilled veggies including cabbages and zucchini.
Poached whole Boston lobster $399The Boston lobster is very big in size and it is almost surprising to us. A whole piece of lobster is halved and served with seafood dipping sauce. The meat is sharp and almost crunchy. The roe is packed inside the lead of the delicate piece of seafood.
The whole tail of lobster meat comes righ off the shell, showing that it is as fresh as you can get. If you like to have an extra flavour to the lobster, feel free to dip that into the sauce but I found it unnecessary because the original flavour is already very enjoyable to me.
The claws are already cracked so it doesn't take much effort for you to deshell the whole lobster to enjoy every piece of meat !
Coffee or teaLastly, what's not to love to have a cup of hot or iced coffee to end a relaxing perfect meal with someone that you can actually chat with for a long hour?
In conclusion, I think it's a very valueable restaurant especially for their Boston lobster set, as well as the top-up seafood platter for only $68! The place is very comfortable with enough privacy as it is in one of the buildings in cwb. I am going to come back with a bigger groups of friends to try more of their small dishes next time!
